This is some of the worst news that a bank customer can get after a hack

[Andy Meek]

Earlier this month, the Michigan-based bank Flagstar disclosed that a security incident had occurred, following the hack by a group of ransomware attackers who exploited a bank vendor's zero-day software vulnerability.

Now, it seems the incident was much worse than noted at the time. Personal information, including social security numbers of customers, bank employees, and even people with tenuous connections to the bank, were accessed as part of this data breach. That's according to letters and communications from the bank that angry social media users have been sharing on Twitter. Flagstar's webpage that was set up to explain what happened doesn't mention the particulars, but the bank confirmed to at least one news outlet that a staggering amount of data may have been accessed -- including SSNs, first and last names, phone numbers, and addresses.
